Server/client chat
I want to make the following programm.
Using the server/client model I want 2 client to connect to the server then the server sends back to the clients the ip address and a number of a poort in order to open a udp connection between clients without using the server?
What I have done since now is to connecct 2 clients to te server and getting their IPs. But I dont know how to send back the ip to each other in order to help the clients open a udp connection.
Finally I would like to ask how can I open a udp connection between clients using only their ips and a port number without using the server and make the clients able to chat.
I am looking forward to your replies.
Thanks in advance.
PS I have implemented them in c.

NAME
aseqnet - ALSA sequencer connectors over network
SYNOPSIS
aseqnet [remotehost]
DESCRIPTION
aseqnet is an ALSA sequencer client which sends and receives event packets over network. Suppose two hosts connected by network, hostA as
a server and hostB as a client. The ALSA sequencer system must be running on both hosts. For creating the server port, run the following
on hostA:
hostA% aseqnet
sequencer opened: 128:0
Then a user client 128 with port 0 was opened on hostA. (The client number may vary.) For creating the (network-)client port, run aseqnet
with the hostname of the server:
hostB% aseqnet hostA
sequencer opened: 132:0
Now all events sent to hostA:128:0 are transferred to hostB:132:0, and vice versa.
The ports created by aseqnet can be connected arbitrary to other sequencer ports via aconnect(1). For example, to connect hostB:132:0 to a
MIDI output device 65:0:
hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0
Then events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered to hostB:65:0. The following command plays MIDI on hostB.
hostA% pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid
The multiple clients may exist simultaneously. If hostC is connected as a client to hostA, events from from hostA are sent to all con-
nected network clients, i.e. hostB and hostC. However, only one connection is allowed from a client to a server.
To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or sending signal to them. The server will automatically quit.
